Our adversaries have promoted as New Testament doctrine a narrative of Unconditional Love and in doing so have abused 'Love they neighbor.' This is heretical doctrine. You cannot love thy neighbor by overturning God's moral law order. Thus Romans 13 wherein the magistrate is to be a terror to evil doers.

The adversary in this has performed his usual trick of bait and switch. Bait with quotes of Scripture (which they hate) out of context and then somewhere switch with the insertion of evil under cover of some presumed good ... like 'tolerance'. Like we should tolerate Drag Queens as some equally valid life style and somehow this is some kind of Christian charity or whatever. In this way, God's moral law is tossed out the window. And what is so sad is that most of the churches have fallen for this stuff ... and have been transformed into enablers of evil.
I hope you are wrong that most churches have fallen for this stuff though certainly many have. I've attended fiercely biblical churches for thirty years (primarily Calvary Chapel) and have really not seen any of it. Completely agree though that mainline Prot denominations like the ELCA, PC(USA), and UMC are fully bought into this stuff and likely a lost cause (though with God all things are possible).
The Catholic hierarchy seems hopelessly lost too aside from a few renegade bishops (who will never be promoted beyond their current positions). I'm not RC though I was raised in it. Curious how the local parish priests are holding up or if they are being lost to this stuff too.
You are correct, the Catholic hierarchy is lost in this mess except for a few good bishops and priests. Unfortunately, when parish priests speak out against this stuff of the world, they are often sidelined. It’s quite sad how watered down homilies have become because of fear of the persecution from their own bishop!
Jeff ... it is a strange world now in Christendom. I agree with what you are saying. The obvious examples of fallen churches/synagogues of Satan are the conspicuously 'social justice/equity' churches. But the less obvious churches are the ones that operate by sins of omission. I won't go into all of that right here. However, I'll give you an indication of what I mean. That is, we attended a rural Baptist church many years ago for maybe four years or so, and NOT ONCE did we study from the Baptist Confession of Faith. Never! Only some watered down Life Way study guide material. And ZERO teaching of Church History. Both De Wife and I are now shocked at what churches don't teach. And it has been a dumbing down attack one after another on Christianity since at least the 19th century.

You are right. Another example is give your kid everything they want and never discipline them. Don’t ever say no because that isn’t “love”.
Great Example! The collective West destroyed itself with Woke Marxism and all the UN Sustainable stuff. Nice to hear from you!
Could not agree more Dave, well put.

My! My! What we did not know! It's astonishing.
